19     =====
20    
21     Navit is a open source (GPL) car navigation system with routing engine.
22    
23     It's modular design is capable of using vector maps of various formats
24     for routing and rendering of the displayed map. It's even possible to
25     use multiple maps at a time.
26    
27     The GTK+ or SDL user interfaces are designed to work well with touch
28     screen displays. Points of Interest of various formats are displayed
29     on the map.
30    
31     The current vehicle position is either read from gpsd or directly from
32     NMEA GPS sensors.
33    
34     The routing engine not only calculates an optimal route to your
35     destination, but also generates directions and even speaks to you.
36    
37     Navit currently speaks 27 languages :
38     - Brazilian Portuguese
39     - Bulgarian
40     - Chinese (Hong Kong)

77     Maps:
78     =====
79    
80     The best navigation system is useless without maps. Those three maps
81     are known to work:
82    
83     - OpenStreetMaps : display, routing, but street name search isn't complete
84     (see http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/OpenStreetMaps )
85    
86     - Grosser Reiseplaner and compliant maps : full support
87     (see http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/European_maps )
88    
89     - Garmin maps : display, routing, search is being worked on
90     (see http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Garmin_maps )
91    
92    
93     GPS Support:
94     ============
95    
96     Navit read the current vehicle position :
97     - directly from a file
98     - from gpsd (local or remote)
99     - from udp server (friends tracking) (experimental)
100    
101    
102     Routing algorithm
103     =================
104    
105     NavIt uses a Dijkstra algorithm for routing. The routing starts at the
106     destination by assigning a value to each point directly connected to
107     destination point. The value represents the estimated time needed to
108     pass this distance.
109    
110     Now the point with the lowest value is choosen using the Fibonacci
111     heap and a value is assigned to connected points whos are
112     unevaluated or whos current value ist greater than the new one.
113    
114     The search is repeated until the origin is found.
115    
116     Once the origin is reached, all that needs to be done is to follow the
117     points with the lowest values to the destination.
